LMS Virtual.LabLMS Virtual.Lab eliminates much of the non value-added time from the typical engineering process. It is open to the leading CAD systems - CATIA, I-DEAS, UniGraphics and ProENGINEER. It removes the barriers between CAD, CAE and Test. It allows engineers to re-use models rather than rebuilding them for each application. LMS Virtual.Lab DesktopThe LMS Virtual.Lab Desktop provides the common environment for functional performance engineering. Users have seamless access to models and data of leading CAD and CAE codes as well as to Test data. It also offers a complete visualization environment for geometry, functional performance engineering data, time and frequency functions etc... LMS Virtual.Lab AcousticsLMS Virtual.Lab Acoustics offers an integrated solution to minimize the radiated noise or to optimize the sound quality of new designs before prototype testing. Convenient modeling capabilities combined with patented solver technologies and easy-to-interpret visualization tools speed up simulation process drastically. LMS Virtual.Lab Noise and VibrationLMS Virtual.Lab Noise and Vibration performs unmatched noise and vibration analyses on the level of a full vehicle or aircraft. It accelerates the building of full-system models, and boosts the speed of simulation runs. It allows pinpointing the root cause of noise and vibration problems. It assesses a design variant within minutes, and quickly explores multiple options. LMS Virtual.Lab CorrelationCorrelating structural characteristics Although static physical tests serve many design purposes, models used for vibro-acoustic simulations usually require systematic test-based validation of dynamic properties. LMS Virtual.Lab Correlation assists in the correlation with physical test results and in the preparation of structural tests. LMS Virtual.Lab MotionLMS Virtual.Lab Motion offers a complete and integrated solution to simulate realistic motion and loads of mechanical systems. It allows engineers to quickly analyze and optimize the real-world behavior of their mechanical design and to guarantee that their design performs as expected, before signing off on a physical test. LMS Virtual.Lab DurabilityLMS Virtual.Lab Durability allows engineers to predict the fatigue hotspots and corresponding fatigue life of components and systems. It combines dynamic component loads with stress results automatically derived from structural FE-meshes and fatigue material parameters. Dedicated durability post-processing allow engineers to quickly assess multiple design alternatives. LMS Virtual.Lab StructuresLMS Virtual.Lab provides ABAQUS, ANSYS, CATIA CAE and MSC.NASTRAN users an active, associative link between Virtual.Lab and their structural FE (Finite Element) solver for linear and non-linear structural analyses. Virtual.Lab transparently accesses the modeling and results data, and makes the structural solver an integral part of the Virtual.Lab simulation process. LMS Virtual.Lab Modeling and AssemblyBuilding and assembling attribute-specific simulation models is key to accurate virtual performance simulation. LMS Virtual.Lab therefore includes all the necessary mesh editing, modeling and assembly capabilities to quickly derive attribute-specific virtual models from CAD geometries or FE models. LMS Virtual.Lab OptimizationLMS Virtual.Lab provides a set of powerful capabilities for single and multi-attribute optimization. Through Design of Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Modeling (RSM) techniques, engineers quickly detect all the possible design options that meet their requirements. LMS Virtual.Lab DesignerLMS Virtual.Lab Designer, a CATIA V5 add-on software suite, provides users direct access to dedicated simulation solutions for system dynamics, acoustics, fatigue-life and durability. It also delivers mesh-based design capabilities that allow designers and analysts to quickly modify FE simulation models and to efficiently analyze multiple design variants. LMS frequently conducts web seminars covering the latest developments of its products, case studies, and other relevant material designed to assist you in your work. For the latest range of sessions go to LMS web seminars. LMS Offers Virtual.Lab Landing GearNEW IN 2007. Virtual.Lab Landing Gear is a dedicated simulation solution for landing gear systems based on LMS Virtual.Lab Motion. The new solution allows development teams to build detailed aircraft landing gear models, reliably simulate their real-life performance, quickly assess multiple design alternatives and optimize aircraft designs before prototype building. LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear has been developed in close cooperation with several aircraft and landing gear manufacturers to cover the specific engineering challenges in developing landing gear systems. LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear supports development teams in gaining a detailed insight in the dynamic behavior of the landing gear, and its overall performance in terms of reliability, stability and safety. The integrated solution supports the analysis of the behavior of the landing gear in all regular maneuvers. It also assesses the response of new system designs to extreme and failure load cases, for which physical tests are either too dangerous or too costly to perform. LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear includes a dedicated user interface which is fully customized to the specific modeling and simulation process for landing gear engineering. This allows users to build their design from pre-defined and fully parameterized landing gear templates or to create their own landing gear configuration template. To assure a realistic representation of the landing gear, the simulation models include tires, wheels, brakes, telescopic oleo damper struts and linkages to brace and retract the system. The models incorporate aerodynamic loads and information about retraction, deployment, take-off, landing and ground maneuvers. Based on the model parameters, LMS Virtual.Lab automatically assembles the complete landing gear model, applies the ground load cases, runs the simulation and performs standardized post processing of the results. This integrated process eliminates extensive modeling efforts, removes potential modeling errors and supports the quick assessment of design alternatives. The new Landing Gear solution is based on LMS Virtual.Lab Motion, offering advanced multi-body simulation capabilities to assess dynamic system behavior. LMS Virtual.Lab Landing Gear therefore takes the flexibility of components and the operation of control systems into account to accurately calculate loads on components and the complete landing gear under a wide range of operating conditions. For example, landing gear retraction and extension can be simulated to size the actuators and hydraulic valves that drive these maneuvers. Takeoff, landing, taxiing, symmetric and asymmetric braking and other ground maneuvers can all be accurately simulated to validate the correct functioning and the safety limits of new landing gear designs. Dedicated post-processing features help engineers to easily identify and solve problems in the landing gear design. Users can review dynamic responses, including all system loads, accelerations and positions. They can detect collisions based on detailed CAD models, analyze motion envelopes and force vector animations.
